“The Pout Pout Fish” Experience
“The Pout Pout Fish” by Deborah Diesen
Potential “Experience” Themes: friendship, rhyming, identifying sea creatures, self control, emotional literacy (facial expressions and body language), and water play (under the sea theme).
Before reading aloud: This story is full of many colorful sea creatures with personalities of their own. Be sure to practice reading this book ahead of time and try adding different character voices! At the end the pout pout fish turns into a kissing fish, self regulation and personal space activities would be great for this as well.
